This is a little triggering :) Reminds me of all the promise back in 2005 when I built my first startup Grazr. It was: - a widget that was a mini RSS reader that let visitors to your site read the RSS feeds you subscribed to on your site - a way to share your collection of RSS feeds dynamically - a way to copy / remix those collections - a way to subscribe to those lists dynamically (if they had a dynamic blogroll or whatever) - a processing and filtering engine to allow merging collections of feeds together into a single stream - Javascript on the server (in 2005 :) ) run using embedded script tags in the OPML / XML blogrolls to create even more dynamic blogs

The net effect was you could make your own news feeds / timelines and use code to control how they were filtered / combined / etc... It was crazy powerful (for 2005) and I still miss it _today_ since it had the dynamism of the news feed, some of the social aspect, and total control since there was no algorithm other than your and the people's who's list you subscribed to curation and any code you ran against it.

Not a lot left from those long ago days but I did find one slightly-cringy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45DSrU23sPI
